Condo is clean, updated, and well appointed. Location was perfect - easy walk to the shops and easy to get out of town for exploring. Beautiful views without even leaving the property (but why wouldn’t you?)!Will by my first choice next trip to the island. Highly recommend you checking out this condo - you won’t be disappointed!

The view from the balcony was magical! The ocean was sooo close, crashing the shore right below the balcony. The view from the balcony offered views of gorgeous sunsets in the evening and fun surfboader watching in the mornings!

Great views and convenient location to town are the best parts of the condo. I appreciated the use of beach chairs, umbrella and cooler.However, AC didn't work well - condo never truly cooled off. Glass tables looked like they hadn't been properly cleaned in a long while. Pocket door to master bath was completely caked with dust. Condo needs updating and thorough cleaning of carpets and windows.We have stayed at several good condos at Kona Reef complex that have the same great views, clean, use of beach gear and properly working AC - I would suggest for the amount of money you spend to rent A11 check out other condos available from Kona Reef.

The owner was great to work with. Any question that I had, Leslie responded quickly. If I ever go back, I will definitely consider using this property again.

Great 1 bedroom condo. The views from the lanai were picture perfect. Condo had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We used the pool a few times and were very happy with the amenities. Communication was great and checking in was super smooth.

Enjoyed our stay.Great location easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants.Pool was very nice overlooking the ocean. Condo was clean and well equipped. It had plenty of beach equipment including coolers. The kitchen had everything you need if you want to cook. Management company was very communicative on how to check in, directions and check out procedures.We would stay here again.

We loved staying here in condo F13 in June/July 2026. This is an older building, so if you are picky about minor signs of age around the property, you might notice. We did not mind at all. The actual unit F13 is updated and comfortable and convenient. There is cute Hawaii art around. The current flowered sofa bed looked like such a small couch when we walked in, but folded out super easily into a great bed. Slept an adult very comfortably. There is only an a/c unit in the living room (bedroom is in back of condo) but it was powerful and cooled the house so well so quickly. The place stayed cool, too, we only used the a/c for a tiny bit of each day. Balcony view is awesome. Balcony is big for two and we enjoyed breakfast watching surfers every day. Walk down to the grass/beach for full sunset view. Kitchen had all we needed and cooking was easy. Loved having washer and dryer! Used the beach towels and the snorkel gear that was on the porch. Host was super fast to respond to any question. This location was the huge seller for me and I was right. Seven min walk to great breakfast and dinner and shave ice. Next to a beach (pretty, great for watching surfers, not really a swimming beach or family beach - we drove to those). Great for walking/running on Ali'i drive in the morning. Perfect for couple or couple and a friend/kid. Would need to be comfy being cozy in a small space if you were a family. We had a great trip. :)

Great location and overall property was good. I was troubled by the broken screen door to the deck and the sliding door to the deck was hard to open and close. The overall property is undergoing renovation so there was construction noise at times. The view was awesome.

Location was great, view and beach access was also great. Host was very communicative before trip and let us know of construction that would be going on (didn't bother us but appreciated the thought). Hopeful for future guests that this was a one off, but we were informed it had been vacant for about a month prior to us staying. Likely because of that, there were roaches in the kitchen area. It is a ground level unit so that might not have helped either. We probably killed (or tried to) a dozen roaches when there. It was gross but besides that everything else was in good order. Great AC. Also great coffee shop down the way called Berry Bird. Great location and walkable to most everything you could need.

Beautiful property and breathtaking view of the ocean from our balcony. Loved that we were on the 3rd floor. Pool and grounds were clean, having a grill to cook on was an added bonus.

The construction noise was very annoying. We had to change units because they started working on our unit while we were there and that was not supposed to happen. The company managing everything was very nice - not their fault. Just disappointing.

Superb location in Kona. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching/listening to the ocean crash into the rocks below. Sunsets very spectacular. Apartment had everything we needed including ceiling fans, which really helped keep us cool. Within easy walking distance of coffee shops, good restaurants and other shops. Stores like Safeway and Walmart only about a 10-15 min drive away. Communication with hosts was also very good. Strongly recommended.

Property clean, with great location to walk to town. Easy to communicate with property management. Linens, towels, and beds comfortable. The only improvements I would make would be two things. Update window unit to a mini split to better cool whole condo and be much more energy efficient. And replace the indoor couch which is actually outdoor furniture with a comfortable indoor resort style couch. My husband recommends a 23000 BTU mini split air conditioner from Amazon for 1000.

Property is great, condo is stocked well, linens, towels, and beds are good quality and made stay very comfortable. The only thing I would recommend to owner is to update air conditioner to a mini split for better cool air coverage and efficiency. The property manager was always responsive and accommodating to all requests. Will return next year and definitely stay here if condo is available.

We loved this condo. It had everything that we needed and the view right onto the ocean waves and daily entertainment watching the surfers cannot be beat. I'm one to overthink everything so I compared all the available units and I was so glad I picked this one because of the location. The parking was a breeze - never had any issues. The pool and hot tub were always spotless and clean. The condo had everything we needed. Bruce's communications were clear and he answered all of my questions. We thought the location was great. Just a little walk up the street to a bunch of restaurants. Always seemed safe and everyone we saw nearby was very nice. Thank you!

Absolutely loved the condo and the location. Very clean and the check-in consisted of entering a code and walking in. Upon my next trip to the big island, this condo will be the first place I look. Communication with Jim was awesome and he truly cared about my families visit. I brought my own snorkeling gear, but the condo had nicer gear than mine. The condo also had all the beach gear that we needed. Mahalo Jim

We’ve stayed here a few times, and every visit has been wonderful. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a peaceful retreat. The property has everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the breathtaking views never get old. Waking up to such beautiful, tranquil scenery is one of our favorite parts of staying here. We always look forward to coming back!

The accommodation itself had a great location and was very comfortable and well maintained. Communication with the host was excellent and very smooth throughout our stay. It was also especially convenient that beach essentials and simple everyday supplies were provided in the accommodation, which made the stay even more enjoyable and hassle-free.

Lovely, quiet, bright condo *perfectly* kitted out - cooking & dining gear, linens, water fun, even little niceties like a scale, extra hangers, vacuum, coasters, ice maker... Cieling fans minimize the need for a/c & sea breezes waft through the screen doors. Host is responsive & pleasant. Parking is safe & convenient - which is especially nice as cafes, beaches, dive shops, etc. are an easy walk. Pool area is terrific & sea view is gorgeous. Great place, great host. Aloha!

Good location, easy to walk into town for shops and restaurants, relatively equidistance for activities down at Captain Cook and up north resorts and beaches. Nice little beach next door good for boogie boarding (I would say not for beginners/novice).

The condo was very clean. I wish there was more towels and wash cloths for a week stay. The pillows could use some updating as well as the couch, not the most comfortable. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Great location and beautiful view. Enjoyed watching surfers and having drinks on the private patio

![Kona Reef Beachfront Getaway]()
The unit was perfect for the two of us. We had everything we needed and more. There were nice little touches provided. We spent most of our time sitting out on the lanai. Of course we knew it looked over a small beach, but what we didn’t know is that it is a world renowned beach! It’s the birthplace of the boogie board! In fact, we woke up on our first morning watching tents and scaffolding being setup on the beach. We got an unexpected opportunity that day to watch a kids bodyboard competition. We sat all afternoon watching these kids in some incredible waves. What a treat!Having said that, being at this particular beach did have a drawback. If you’re looking for absolute peace and quiet, this isn’t it. There is not a gentle crashing of waves to lull you to sleep. More like constant crashing. You definitely won’t want to leave the windows open to sleep, but using the air conditioning helps take care of it!It’s not a hard walk, about 10 minutes for us slow walkers to get to into Kona Town with plenty of choices for good eats.

Great location! It was so wonderful to be right on the water and within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Kona. Grateful for the construction discount due to support on the balcony which made it difficult to see the sunsets. And the noise from the construction wasn’t too bad. I would stay there again.

This condo has it al, location, location, location (and laundry!). The perfect location to walk to Kona where trust me, there is NO parking. The waves crash on the lava just under the lanai, the parking at the condo is cool and plentiful underground. The condo has everything you need and did I mention the location?! Perfect!!

This property has incredible views. The unit is well-appointed and comfortable. We cooked most days and found the kitchen well-stocked and the gas grills very useful. The lanai views are amazing! We saw cruise ships, boats, surfers, parasailing, fish, birds, and even a monk seal! Watching the waves was so relaxing. We had excellent communication with the owner. We noticed a few small items upon arrival (batteries weak in the door lock, a screen door that would not completely close, and a ceiling fan that was not working). We notified the owner, and they responded immediately. The items were repaired quickly and professionally. We stayed for 2-1/2 weeks and will definitely be back to this unit. Thank you to the owner for providing a wonderful getaway in paradise. Aloha!

We had a lovely stay here. Great location and an easy walk to town. Very comfortable. We had a problem with the parking pass but the host helped us resolve it. We didn’t have a printer to print it. The condo was perfect for a couple. The view was gorgeous.
